Agreed, however, IIRC Bill stated the factors could be increased to reflect the fire doctrine for the Brits/Hanovarians. 1.5 not being enough, and perhaps 3...
Good afternoon Col Bill et al, I noticed mention that some of the 1814 battles were considered too small to permit a 1814 scenrio book of its own. What is...
For most of the period the British/KGL are considered two rank Linear and/or Impulse. As such they get 2.5 Fire Points per stand. When facing some of the later...
Thanks for the correction, I had been fasting and must have been a bit light-headed. However, when my buddy and I did the Quatre Bras scenerio using the ...
One of the problems both you and I face is that likely neither of us have played enough games to make a good judgment. The games I've played saw no impact, BUT...
ALAN Although most AOE games are set up for players to command corps sized elements, the smaller battles can also be played by assigning players division...
On a pure firepower basis the mathematics of this issue are beyond doubt, ie wide frontage = disadvantage. Unpredictable die rolls may diguise the problem but...
Kevin, my Bham group has played Empire exclusively since the Stone Age (well Empire 3). We have a huge amount of figures/corps/armies/etc but we haven't played...
Firepower according to the math is as follows: Standard basing is 1" or 1.125" wide by 1" deep for two ranked line. Standard three ranked line is .75" by...
Yes, you need fewer figures, @30% fewer. A typical French Brigade (Strong Regiment) is 8 stands, 32 figures or slightly less than 3 Empire Battalions. And if...
An AOE base has 4 figures and represents 360 men which makes it 90 men per figure vs Empires 60 so you need about 2/3 the figures. I would also agree that you...
Could it be because both the Danish and British Armies have tend 'see red' alittle too often? (Bad joke, but what do you want at 5AM?) 8^) -Bill Ponder ... ...
Hi, I recently posted a scenario of Sacile 1809 (Italian theatre) in the Files section. I'll be posting an update (with labels!) in a bit. I also have OB's...
I'm putting the final touches on this for our 15mm club game later in the year. Im planning to have 12-14 players on a 12 feet x 6 feet table to cover the area...
... An alternative to using sub-scale buildings (yuck!), might be to have the base/buildings as large as the actual place plus musket range in all directions....
Hi Geoff, If you can use adjoining rooms with a concertina partition you can open them up and join the two tables together either at a give time or when it is ...
... open them ... Good idea, I might well use a room divider screen, or two....... ... can not ... his ... General he ... Yep I thought of that one, but the...
... Aha, I've just found the web info - so Ill definitely be taking the kids this weekend. Hope to see you there. Whats the name of your outfit, so I can look...
Mark S, First of all, it is not a good idea to accuse others of being speculators, especially without being party to previous lengthy discussions on the...
Mark H, I will put in my two shekels worth here this time around, if only to douse a smoldering fuse. In reality your own mathematics don't properly illustrate...
Bill G. This rather engineered example does not illustrate the "problem" at all. It assumes that small British brigades always face off against larger French...
This is a good example of "hidden data" as I mentioned in my e-mail to my colleague in Finland...You know if somebody has the time to run some math (shudder...
Do I hear an "AMEN"? Michael Brown mwsaber6@... From: NapoleonicFireandFury@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NapoleonicFireandFury@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Page 7 lists the frontage of two rank line as 1.125 inches. Since you can be within .125 of this standard, I was being generous. Check it out, it is under...
Raab is a killer battle to fight. Hope to see your OB soon. I'd like to fight Marengo in AoE once. Loved it in Naps Battles, but fear Bonaparte has little...
Rockingham Castle just north of Corby. There is a multi period event all weekend "Call to Arm". I'm there all three days with 2/44th. The war-game is planned...
